State of Russian ice dance drama [02.06.2017]

Finally it’s Friday! How to spend last working day? Take some wine and join me in my weekly review of Russian ice dance. Next episode starts now!

Let’s start with something positive, sweet and cute!

The main Diva of Russian ice dance Tatiana Navka and her youngest daughter Nadya

The season of figure skating’s wedding is officially started! Congratulations to Ksenia Monko and Kirill Khaliavin!

Jonathan Guerreiro is also spotted at the wedding

Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov have finally deserved vacations and went to Thailand

Dmitri Soloviev is also somewhere near them. Thailand is popular among Russian skaters this summer.

Dima, take another photo! We can’t see whether you’re really in great shape!

Ekaterina Bobrova and her Roman Holidays

Meanwhile the game “Find a new partner for Ilinykh” continues on many internet resources about figure skating. Let’s take a look at most frequently mentioned candidates. Unfortunately, Scott Moir, Guillaume Cizeron and Andrew Poje were too busy to attend the audition.

Yuri Vlasenko. Works with kids, but promises to compete next season. Intriguing.

Egor Bazin. Seems he and Sofia Evdokimova have returned from vacations and started preparation for the next season.

But according to many Elena’s fans these two are not successful enough) Ok. Lets take a look at two World Junior Champions – Sergei Mozgov and Pavel Drozd.

Sergei got some coaching experience working with kids in Tallinn.

Pavel – last photo from vacations

Anyway, I hope Betina and Alla won’t give up without a fight)

But it’s Russian ice dance, you never can be sure! So for not to worry about this two pairs I need to see a photo on ice after vacations or to hear some music announcement)

The question to the fans of ice dance? Could you maybe recommend some interesting programs? I’ve never been interested in ice dance and I’ve seen only a couple of programs so far, so I’ve decided to give it a chance :) I would be very grateful for your recommendations :)

Personally I started to like ice dance after I saw Tessa and Scott. So I recommend to watch all their dances starting with 2008 the . I also really like Meryl and Charlie’s 2009 FD, Indian OD and FD from 2010 Olympics, 2012 FD.
